Lazygamer Investigates: The PS3 comes up short with COD5

Earlier this week, Videogamer.com posted up a 720p comparison of Call of Duty 5 on the PS3 and Xbox 360. I saw the video and started noticing differences between the two that I felt couldn't be ignored. So what I did is, I took a screengrab of the comparison to show you. Comparison videos always cause a general ruckus between the different console owners and this one is obviously doing the same. Truth be told, the Xbox 360 version looks significantly better and what bothers me the most is that I picked up the differences in the introduction cut-scene, which is a controlled environment that doesn't really have that much complexity to it. So why I ask, does the PS3 version look significantly worse?... COD5Graphics.jpg You can click the above image to see it in full resolution, although take note that there is a little bit of compression on the image.... When you take a closer look you can clearly see that the texturing on the man's clothing and even the little badge on the bottom right is significantly lower and more "jaggy" or pixelated than the one on the Xbox 360. Not only that but you will also notice that the guy all the way in the background has some missing models on him. Now I have seen Uncharted and Metal Gear Solid 4 running on a PS3 and the graphics were phenomenal. So why again is the PS3 getting the short end of the stick. Why on earth, in a cutscene so simple, would Treyarch have to resort to lower texture resolutions and less geometry. I can't even see such small changes making a large difference to the framerate anyway. At the end of the day, small differences like this won't completely change a gamers experience but really, this doesn't make any sense because we know that the PS3 should be able to handle graphics like this without any issues. I ask again if it is just down to developer laziness because regardless of which was the lead platform, it can't be that damn difficult to make the graphics look equal in quality on both.

Fallout 3 Graphics Comparison

Last week we had an article shoot through the roof because PSM has said that Fallout 3 does not look as good on the PS3 as it does on the Xbox 360 version. Well to help us make our own minds up, GamesRadar have released a comparison video showing off the two version running side by side. I do apologise for the squashed video but it is the way that they have uploaded it, so it does tend to mess up the graphics somewhat. So take a look for yourself and let us know which one you think looks better. All I can say is that it's looking damn fine on both at the moment, regardless of which one people think looks better.

Dead Space looking better on the PS3?

Now I know that a lot of you are sick and tired of the whole video comparison story but as you may know, we have reported on this topic quite a lot in the past. We cannot embed this video, so you will need to watch it by clicking here. The Eurogamer comparison tests have resulted in the Xbox 360 coming out on top in almost every comparison so far but I think that things may be different this time around. A comparison video has been put up on videogamer.com, showing the differences between the Xbox 360 and PS3 version and I personally feel that the PS3 one is definitely the better looking of the two. While clarity, textures and framerate seemed identical it looks a little washed on the Xbox 360 and whether or not this is due to the comparison setup is a mystery for now. If this video accurate however, the PS3 is the winner in my opinion. Am I going blind or do you think I am right? Leave your comments below. I usually wouldn't mind washed out looks but with a game that falls so heavily onto it's atmosphere, the more contrasted look of the PS3 version will definitely do much better to make me wet my pants.
